    Outdoor patio
    Sharyn L.

    Great outdoor patio that is dog friendly! I was not impressed by the first course. We ordered the wedge salad and bread and butter to start. $8 for 4 small slices of bread is a bit steep! The wedge salad was also forgottable. Mains were better. The pork schnitzel was tasting and not greasy. The short ribs were solid - nice sauce and tender. The standout on the menu was the dessert- an ice cream sandwich. They were out of the "featured wine" which felt like a bait and switch, but the picpoul we ordered was fine (if overpriced). Our waiter to seemed a bit rushed and harried (he didn't wait for me to taste the wine before pouring for my husband).

    Fine dining at its finest. Everything about this restaurant is superb. My high expectations of this high end restaurant were once again far exceeded, placing it on my Platinum list of very exclusive restaurants that consistently deliver extraordinary dining experiences. After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that it would be appropriate this year to go back to this restaurant and write a follow-up review, since my initial review was one of my reviews that contributed to me obtaining this highly esteemed Award. Delighted that this Bistro & Bar is now included in the very exclusive Open Table Reservation System, I made a reservation for last Saturday at 5:30pm, with the request to be seated at the same table 7, next to the window and to the open kitchen, where I had sat last time I had dined there. I arrived half an hour early because I finished what I was doing sooner than what I expected. Yet when I arrived and announced my reservation, the very distinguished yet friendly Host greeted and welcomed me with open arms, escorting me to the exact table that I had requested. There, I had nice window light coming in to be able to better appreciate and enjoy the amazing culinary masterpieces placed on my table; and to photograph them to accompany this review, to give the reader a better appreciation of my words. After all, it is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Here I also had a direct view of the bar and of the open kitchen, being able to view the bartenders creating Works of Art cocktails and the chefs Culinary Masterpieces. Shortly after I was seated, an unassuming yet very knowledgeable and caring person, my server Aaron, arrived with a friendly smile and introduced himself asking me something to the effect of, if I wished to have him as my server for the evening. Talking about people with class. This person had class and style. When I asked him if they had Mocktails, he showed me the list of cocktails and told me anyone of then could be turned into a Mocktail. I picked the Hemingway Daiquiri and was able to see from where I was seated the care and attention to detail as the bartender made my drink and decorated it with a simple yet very elegant detail. And the taste, it tasted like Heaven. To dine, my server graciously took my order. I started with the Virginia Oysters appetizer. You have to see it to believe it. I invite you to view my photographs and video clips accompanying my review. One of the best tasting Oysters that I have ever had. I followed this with the Fried Gouda and with the Bread & Butter. Everything tasted amazing. As my main course I had the Hanger Steak medium rare. It was nice and tender and served with Bacon & Aged Gouda Fondue Topped Fries. Amazingly delicious! For dessert, my server wonderfully recited the name and description of the three they had for the evening. And I chose the one that was my server's top choice and that sounded the best. I can't remember the name, but surely I will never forget the taste. In conclusion this has been once again an extraordinary dining experience in a 5 Star Restaurant that has far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this restaurant for when you feel like making any day a Special Occasion.

    Came here for a quick bite to eat with some friends and was delightfully surprised with how delicious everything was. The small beer was only a dollar during happy hour. Two friends and I shared an order of the fried Gouda (the sauce was a little too spicy for me but still tasty ). I really enjoyed the Kapsalon. The garlic sauce on it went so well with everything. Will definitely come back when I'm in town again.

    Pork Schnitzel

    An absolutely unforgettable hidden gem! From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with such warmth and genuine hospitality that I instantly felt at home. The cozy, candlelit atmosphere set the perfect tone for the evening, intimate, relaxing, and full of charm. The food? Phenomenal! Every bite was an explosion of flavor that danced on my taste buds. I ordered the Stock Board and the Pork Schnitzel, and both were cooked to absolute perfection, crispy without being greasy, beautifully seasoned, and portioned just right. It reminded me of a comforting home-cooked meal, elevated to fine-dining quality. If you ever find yourself in Roanoke, VA, do yourself a favor and stop in at this hidden gem for an incredible Norwegian/Scandinavian-inspired dining experience. It's not just a meal, it's a memory waiting to happen!

    After our delicious meal...nothing left!

    Been meaning to stop by for quite a while because my husband loves Nordic type foods. Wish we'd come sooner! There were 5 of us in the party; we sample a huge variety and it was all so good (and I was so hungry) we forgot to take pictures. We tried the bread board, the stock cheese and fish board, the meat balls and smelt as appetizers. I was concerned that the (adult""kids") might not recieve some of the selections but there were no leftovers. Dinner selections included the whole trout, schnitzel, steak and frittes (husband said it was the best steak and perfectly cooked med rare he's had in a long time) and two varieties of the open faced sandwiches. Took home half of the schnitzel so I could order dessert. For dessert I ordered the danish served with chocolate sauce and cherry goat cheese ice cream and my daughter and her bestie ordered the ice cream sandwich. All completely finished. The danish situation was the best dessert Ive eaten in 10 years (I eat a lot of desserts. Thank you Chef Dave!!!!! We also ordered a variety of cocktails, wine and a delicious hard cider. I'm sad we waited so long to try this gem. I feel awful I didn't take any pics of the food..... Thank you Stock for a great experience!

    It is said that valuable things come in small boxes, but never in my wildest imagination did I…read moreconceive of a place like Stellina. After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I also was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at their Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Stellina, in Downtown Roanoke, is a perfect example. Stellina (which means "Little Star" in Italian) is a secretly hidden little bar within the very popular Italian Restaurant Fortunato, but with its own entrance through a door on the right of the restaurant. Its only indication of its name is a small letter board behind one of its front windows, stating its name and hours of operation. This bar was constructed with reclaimed wood from the Old Crow distillery and opened in December of 2016. Since then its gain a reputation as the ideal spot for hand-crafted cocktails in a cozy and intimate atmosphere. It seats only about 20 people, with 7 at the bar. Not that long ago it gained recognition by being featured in the New York Post as one of the world's best small bars. All that I can tell you about this place doesn't do justice to the experience of visiting the place for the very first time. After stepping inside, I was mesmerized by the simple yet effective, elegance of the establishment, complimented by the beautifully dressed young lady, server/bartender. Her elegant style and mysterious personality contributed to the character and ambiance of this one-of-a-kind relaxing place. The very hospitable young lady welcomed me and handed me the drink menu, while asking me if I also planned to dine there. I answered in the affirmative and asked her if they had any Mocktails. To my surprise, she pointed out that one side of the Drinks Menu were all non-alcoholic drinks, including mocktails, bottled mocktails, wine by the glass, and beers. I ordered one of the mocktails and by the end of my meal, I think I must have tried a few. She then brought me Fortunato's menu, and I ordered the Fritto Misto as appetizer and the Pork Milanese as my main entrée. I enjoyed both course immensely. A lady employee brought me the food from Fortunato's Restaurant through a door that led to the restroom area of Fortunato's Restaurant, pass the kitchen. For dessert, that Which I consider the "Grand Finale" of a wonderful fine dining experience, I ordered their Tiramisu and Hot Chocolate. They were absolutely mouthwatering. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to return in the near future.

Scored at the bar which worked fine for me. Service was lukewarm, but still ok. Service started out slow and improved. However, no check-ins were performed at all. I was given a cocktail and food menu. I knew I wanted an Old Fashioned and dropped an order for their lamb meatballs. Shortly after I decided on the eggplant Parmesan main. My drink with Rittenhouse Rye bourbon was tasty, just not much of it price at $17 steep too! I also ordered a specialty hot rum drink with pumpkin spice at $10 that was amazing! The meatballs hit quickly and were devoured! So yummy! About 15 minutes later the main dropped and was huge! Really quality and flavorful for a vegetarian dish. Overall the food was better than the service and prices were stretched. 3.5 rounding down due to service.

For dinner, we ordered the Khachapuri and the Japanese Tsukene Meatballs. They only had 2 main entrees but everything else was more small plates. The Meatballs were delicious. They were full of flavor and moist. The Khachapuri was also good but the bread was stuck to the parchment paper it was baked on pretty hard. In my opinion, it needed a touch of garlic but still good. It was nice to drop by for a little to have some cocktails but wish there was more on the menu.
